Testing Containers with Python and pytest (osc25)

To ease the pain of testing container images, we’ve developed the `pytest_container` plugin for [pytest](https://pytest.org/). The plugin makes it possible to use pytest to perform tests on containers and software inside containers. You don’t have to take care of pulling images, building them, or picking ports on the host. You just describe your container setup and pass it to a test function. In return, the plugin gives you a connection to the container. Using the connection, you can verify the container’s state using the [testinfra](https://testinfra.readthedocs.io/) python framework. The plugin even cleans up after itself when you’re done. In short, `pytest_container` makes it possible to write tests in Python: no need to build your own framework from scratch or worry about the boring container plumbing tasks. Join this talk to see `pytest_container` in action and learn how it can make your life easier!
